Re: Automatic Transmission Question

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree 100% with Joseph. My 727 does the same thing, Had a 65, C-4 Ford 
that did the same thing.
After the spring fill-up and driving more regulary....no leaks.
So far the 904 in the Petty car has not done it. BUT..it gets started alot 
as it sits under my lift and is moved alot.
Don't worry about it...my $.02

the torque converter leaks down and then it will seep out
of the pan gasket or dipstick tube my fury does the same thing when  parked 
for long periods it is common on 727 trannys of the 60's cars as i have 
heard of this from numerous people i just refill my tranny in the spring 
very seldom leaks if it is driven weekly but over the winter she marks her 
spot
